The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones

'When we lost Pimp C back on December 4, 2007 to a "sizzurp" overdose, a huge void was left within hip-hop, as Pimp C truly lived up to his "pimp" moniker. The UGK member was the mouthpiece for dirty rhymes that came across as more humorous than offensive and more creative than most rappers in the game. His final effort The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones will be posthumously released by Rap-A-Lot Records. In the intro to the work, Pimp C acknowledges that The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones is his only "real" solo album, considering his previous solo works were manufactured during his three-year jail stint for parole violation. A good portion of this album was made while Pimp C was still alive. However, the obvious additions of current rappers like Drake, Young Jeezy, Chamillionaire, and Rick Ross, plus the selective production, merely compliment the many verses Pimp C had recorded in hopes of placing them on his unintentional final masterpiece. Despite the fact that we lost Pimp C too soon, his rhymes are still very relevant as even his Hurricane Katrina references still hold firm in the present day.' - Kathy Iandoli / TheBoomBox.com
